Christmas wishes...

Not really a challenge as such, but I've seen that those who go to a SW group have been given a little tag to write down their Christmas wish, so I thought this would be a nice place for us all to share our own.

My Christmas wish is just that I stay in control and don't go crazy. I want to enjoy what I do have, and I know I don't really enjoy stuff when I'm just shoving it in my gob for the sake of it, or as quickly as I can! I am going to remember that I, and only I, am in control of what goes into my mouth and ultimately what the number on the scales will say. I really don't want to undo all of my hard work for what is realistically one day.

So, what's your Christmas wish? Is it to lose a certain number of lbs? To get down to a certain dress size? Or something different? I'd love to hear them

Hi I've written two on my tag - I'd like my 8 stone award & to be able to run a 5k

It means I need to lose 2lbs a week which maybe tough at this time of year but going for it! Currently doing C25K and hoping for Christmas day to be running (jogging!!) a comfortable 5K so it'll counter balance some Christmas food. But like you hoping to show some restraint rather than just stuffing my face constantly because its Christmas!

I'm hoping to lose 1 1/2 stones by Christmas. I've lost 7lbs up to last week's WI and I'm hoping it's achievable if I keep to plan and incorporate a bit more exercise into my routine. After seeing my weight creep up for the last five years I would be happy with anything over a stone off by Christmas, though.

I weigh-in on Monday so hopefully I'll be a bit closer after that. I'm probably going to allow myself a couple of little treats over Christmas but staying as close as possible to the plan so I can keep the losses going into the New Year.

2.5lbs off this week, so 3.5lbs to go! Can't wait to get back into the 12's again. I'm hoping I can smash 2lb a week seeing as I have nothing social on at all until the 20th which will give me a good festive buffer
